Village Today

Influenced by Dutch Friends2013.04.16

As soon as I came back to Japan, I started planning how to fix my house. My house is a little tilt and one of my coworkers always says to me I look so miserable living in an old house by myself.

In Japan people usually don't try to fix their houses but ask carpenters to repair or, tear down the houses and build new one. My Japanse friends who are archtects say the part of the reason is we have lots of earthquake and that people just follow specialist's advice. Or maybe it costs too much to repair and rather build new one.

Well, in my case, I should try to fix them.

Hopefully by the time Kami Festival begins, I can have a nice room for inviting my friends to have some meals or drinks.
